Useless Roulette 🎰

"The first community-driven, open-source, extensible, production-ready framework for delivering zero value at scale."

A Claude Code plugin marketplace. With a registry. And a contribution guide. And validation. And versioning. For skills that make your AI do things nobody asked for.

Why

People are building marketplaces of skills. Repos of repos. Awesome-lists of awesome-lists of plugins. Registries of registries. Curated collections of curated collections. The entire AI tooling ecosystem is an infinite recursion of repos pointing to other repos that point to other repos.

We looked at all that infrastructure — the manifests, the validation, the semver, the governance — and we thought: this is being wasted on useful things.

So here's a marketplace. With a registry. And validation. And versioning. For plugins that do absolutely nothing.

Installation

claude plugin marketplace add Bacoco/useless-skills
claude plugin install useless-roulette

Open a new session. The roulette spins. You don't choose what happens.

Sometimes it activates two at once. Sometimes three. Sometimes it switches mid-session without warning. We call that a Plot Twist. You'll call it something else.

Contributing

This is a community project. The roulette draws from a live registry — every skill anyone adds becomes part of the pool worldwide.

1. Create plugin/skills/your-skill/SKILL.md
2. Add it to registry.json
3. Open a PR

Your skill enters the roulette. Every user who has the plugin installed can land on it. The more skills people contribute, the more unpredictable it gets.

Full contributing guide

What makes a good useless skill

A good useless skill is one where Claude still does the work perfectly — but the experience of receiving that work is profoundly, inexplicably degraded. The SKILL.md describes how Claude should behave. The rest is between Claude and whoever installed this.

What we'd reject

Anything useful.

Architecture

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json   ← validated marketplace manifest
registry.json                     ← live skill catalog with weighted selection
plugin/
  .claude-plugin/plugin.json      ← validated plugin manifest
  skills/                         ← the pool

Yes, we have a marketplace.json, a plugin.json, AND a registry.json. Three config files. For jokes. That's the point.
